More "good"news from the airlines

[bobimport]

As the price of freight rises airline are announcing cutbacks in flights. More places that can't be reached by air = a shrinking hobby.

Its sad to see the airlines shoot themselves in the foot by raising prices on some links. South America and the Caribbean almost all freight is south bound. Many times from Haiti I have the only North bound freight on American. They just raised the price 0.5 a lb +++. We have started using freight airlines that come back empty and are happy to sell what space they can. Looks like a bost to the online dealers that use Fed-ex

On that same note we dropped off a shipment last week at SFO and ran into a new deal in place. Swissport is now running cargo. They have 2 agents on staff. They now have you check in and wait for an agent who then will ghost you 100% of your journey back to your truck and the entire time you unload. It took our driver an hour and a half to complete what used to take 15 minutes. Another driver said it took him almost three hours earlier in the day (he was on his second drop off). We're now going to consolidate all our SFO shipments into 1 weekly trip. Have they implemented this anywhere else?

I understand what they are trying to achieve but they loose all points on having only two agents.
